Product Description

The Bilstein 22-240200 is a B4 OE Replacement front left (driver side) strut assembly designed as a direct fitment for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3 (BM/BN chassis, 3rd generation) in both Sedan and Hatchback body styles across all trim levels and engine variants. It is a twin-tube gas pressure unit engineered to restore the Mazda 3's factory ride quality and handling - meeting or exceeding OEM standards as a direct replacement for Mazda front strut OEM part numbers BABF34900 and related cross-references.

The 3rd-generation Mazda 3's SKYACTIV chassis is known for its class-leading handling precision and driver engagement, characteristics that depend heavily on proper damper calibration. The Bilstein B4's twin-tube gas pressure design delivers consistent, temperature-stable damping that preserves the Mazda 3's factory-intended front-end behavior. All installation hardware is included; factory mounting bolts, coil springs, top mounts, and strut bearings are reused or purchased separately as needed. This is a driver-side-only strut - the passenger side requires a separate Bilstein right strut for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3.
